There seems to be an inherent love of
jewelry in the human breast, and it takes
a strong hand to keep an inordinate dis
play of it i'll all kinds out of the dress of
all conditions of people. That it has been
seen 81 little in public places of late years
is perhaps as marked a tribute to the
strength of fashions hand as to the cult
walton of good taste among all grades of
people.
Savages, as we have said, have been
known to part with all they had, even to
their children, for tinsel gewgaws and
cheap jewelry. Bunko men say that in
going through the country to swindle and
cheat people u of money, nothing so
tickles the senses and rouses the desire of
possession in the majority of people like
cheap jewelry. Hotel clerks always give
the best room to the man who sports the
most jewelry, and the woman with the
diamond rings gets the most attention
from the walters. -Cleveland Herald.

One of the most interesting incidents
of the'late war is told of Gen. Lytle Just
before he received his fatal wound at
Chickamauga. He had made his bril-
liant charge into the midst of the enemy,
where all chances of retreat were cut off.
Suddenly he thrust his hand into his coat
pocket, drew forth a pair of kid gloves
and began putting them on. Asked by
an aid the reason for this movement, SO
unexpected under such thrilling circum-
stances, the general answered: Don't
you see that we are surrounded, and that
there are but two alternatives left us-to
die or surrender? For my part, l pro-
pose to die like a gentleman" He drew
on his gloves and soon after fell. Those
who knew Gen. Lytle in Cincinnati knew
him to be almost punctilious about the
appointments of a gentleman, but no one
ever supposed him capable of such incom.
parable coolness.-Cleveland Leader.

The king continued abusing the prince
till the evening, when he said he would
not nave any supper and went to his
smoking party. As o o as we reached
the queens room she told me to sit down
and write and tell my brother all that
had taken place, ~inclosing him a rough
draft of a letter 10 the king, in which he
begged him for forgiveness. l was writ
ing quietly, and had nearly finished my
letter, when l heard the king coming
for he had such a heavy step that it al
WAYS sounded as if he wore thick boots.
The fright | was in could not be de-
scribed, but | never lost my head, and
hid my letter behind a Chinese cabinet.
My Eovcrness put my pens, etc, in safe
ty. As the king was already in the
room, | slipped the ink bottle into my
pocket, and there l held it in my hand.
This was all lone in a second. The king
spoke a few words to the queen, II
then moved toward the Chinese cabinet.
at is n pretty thing, " he said; II will
give it TO YOU at the same time trying
the lock. l saw the moment coming
when my letter would fall to the ground
and be discovered.
The queen, half dead with terror,
directed the kings attention to her little
dog and mine, which were at the other
end of the room. Look" she said,
''my daughter will nave it that her dog
is much prettier than minel now you
must be the Judge, and decide between
us, He laughed, and asked me if /
was very fond of my dog? Eyes, 1 am"
l answered, because he has SO much
sense, and deserves so much at my
hands" My answer so pleased the king
that he took me i'll his arms and kissed
me. And I-oh! miserable fate-I was
obliged to let go the ink bottle, which
was split all over me and the floor. l
never stirred or moved. Happily
the king o left the room, and put al
end to the position we were in. The ink

the whole occurrence.-Margravine of

A gentleman who is interested in the
subject remarked lately to me: "Oh, no,
/ don't travel about worrying people
about their signatures. Those of living
people have little value. l watch the
catalogues and pick up an autograph here
and there. There are certain stock sig
natures that every collector tries to get
as a basis for his collection. For instance,
George Wushington's autograph is cheap
at $40; a letter of the Father of his
Country is worth $50. Lincoln's hand
writing is quotable at IS. A real sweet
letter from the prince of Wales is worth
$l2. 80. Thomas Je~fferson's letter is val
ned at $40, and his friend Franklin's Is
worth $40. Bayard Taylor is ratable
from So TO $50, according TO the writing.
Hawthorne. who used to be cheap, is
having a bull movement, and a chapter
from Our Old Home" which sold for
$50 two years ago, is now held at 1928.
Kings and queens come cheap. Ferdi-
uand. of Ferdinand and Isabella fame,
has the call at $25; Queen Anne, $40;
James |. $1S. and Queen Victoria, $3.50.
OF the poets. SOP. 50 would bring a letter
from Wordsworth; a poem by Tom
Moore is worth so; Browning, $3.50,
while Cowper's name brings $40, and
that Of Coleridge $50. James Addison,
who did not always receive pay for his
c7says, has left letters, the most ordinary
Of which are now quoted at $50, while
Keats three letters TO Fanny Browne are
worth SO, 1925 and $50 respectively.
DR.. johnson comes high at from $50 to
$50 a letter. Napoleon's autograph let
tcrs are quotable all the way from $50 to
$50. Here is a bundle of autographs
that are a cheap job lot-signatures from
actresses, letters from senators and poll
clans. To particularize, such autographs,
like cheap mining stocks, vary. Senator
Vest is worth twenty-five cents; Presi-
dent Cleveland, 81. 1 dare say that such
u document as that which Councilman
O'Malley read lately in the council cham
Der would bring, with his signature, sew
enty-five cents. The chief value which
the autographs of rich men have is their
place, the price depending upon the size

The fishing industries of the United
States employed during the year 1879,
the figures of which are given in the
census of 1880, 131, 426 persons, with an
invested capital of 1877, 055, $40, and an
annual product of S43, DAG, O53, or a trife
over 1927 to each person engaged. The
number of enrolled vessels of five tons
and over engaged was 6,6O5, while the
actual fishermen numbered 10t, 6S4, the
other 10000 being engaged on shore in
curing and marketing the product.
Great Britain employs 100, 900 fishermen
and 9,637 vessels, although the value of
its yearly catch does not equal that of
the United States. France has 1875, 900
persons engaged in fishery, with a yearly
product valued at SO, 600, 900. Russia's
yearly fish product is the same as hat of
France. Germany is credited with a
product of $1S, 1926, geo annually. Nor
way fisheries produce about SIC, 900, 600,
and those of Italy about $40, 900, 900.
The fishing industries of North America
and Europe combined employ between
GOO, 600 and 700, 900 persons and $50, 900
vessels, producing 5000, 900, 900 pounds
of fish, equal to $50, 900 carloads, which
would load a train 90 miles in length

The exhibition of J. F. Millet's pictures,
which constitutes for the moment the
leading artistic attraction in Paris, has
set French journalists ringing the changes
once more on the familiar story of the
artists poverty and struggles. 1t is sat
~isfactory TO hear, on the authority Of
Mime. F~euardent, the painters daughter,
that the facts of the case have been
grossly exaggerated.
Millet, she says, not only never knew
anything approaching want, but vas
always in a position to entertain his
friends Hospitality and to relieve the ne
c~essities of his poorer neighbors, which
he did habitually and regularly. 1t is
true that he vas poorly paid for his work,
but he was rarely paid less than he asked.
AT once n remarkably modest and a
s~crupulously honest man, he never could
be brought to ask prices for his pict-
ures which his brother artists and ever
the dealers themselves told him they were
worth. He himself was perfectly salts,
fled with his artistic gains, and his life
was on the whole as tranquil and happy
rs any man could desire.
The future of his children, no doubt,
cost him anxious thought, but he lived
TO see his sons all settled in life and his
daughters well and happily married.

Sixty Thousand Relics.

Shang-le, or precious relics of Buddha,
are so abundant that only a miracle could
explain their number. DIR. Medhurst
throws some light on their history. Ac-
cording to Buddhists there are 81, 900
pores in a mans body, and, therefore,
he leaves behind him 81, 900 particles of
miserable dust in the course of transmit
grafton. Buddha had also 81, pores
in his body. but by his resistance to evil
he was enabled to perfect 81, 900 relics
through them, for which eight kings
contended. a good and wise king.

pagodas to cover these 81, 900 relics.
These relics still remain, but can only be

A bride and groom from the rural dis
tricts went strolling down State street the
other morning, taking in all the sights,
when their attention was attracted by a
huge collection of furniture of every de
scription in front of one of the auction
rooms. There were tables, bureaus,
chairs, bedsteads, mirrors-in fact, every
thing that would go to complete the fur
nishing of a very large house.
The groom attempted an explanation OF
what seemed to them both a remarkable
circumstance, but the size of the pile non
plused him and he finally came to a stand
still.
A bright idea suddenly struck his fair
helpmate, who was doubtless from an
anti-rent section of the country.

On the whole, it may be said from the
present light upon the subject that there
is not much hope for ~ballooning, and un-
der any circumstances it can never be a
popular mode of travel. No amount of
precaution will ever make it safe, and it
is attended by countless perils-of the
air, of the land and of the sea. The dis
comforts are extreme. Nor is there any

to which it can be turned is its employ

Temperance in Work.

Mayor Hewitt says that he smiles when
men talk to him of working eight and nine
hours a day, inasmuch as he himself has
worked from twelve to seventeen hours a day
all his life. have heard this kind of talk all
my life and don't think it is fair as against
the working men. The work of Mr.. Hewitt
has been solely directed to his own interest.
There was inspiration behind it. That Of the
ordinary toiler is a weary grind from which
he can hope to derive but a passing benefit.
There is a wide difference, therefore,, between
the two cases. And another thing. II in
working as he has Mr.. Hewitt has violated
the laws of health, 1 fail to see how his In
dustry is p~rniseworthy. And the same is
true If his close application has caused him
to neglect his social duties and the civilizing
amenities Of life. Temperance is a good
thing in regard to work as well as in the mat
ter of drink or anything else. And the co.,
pei Of overwork, il it were generally adopted,
would work almost as much injury in the
long run as n gospel of idieness.-Wa shing-
